• Contribution of oxygen extraction fraction to maximal oxygen uptake in healthy young men 

      Skattebo, Øyvind; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez; Rud, Bjarne; Capelli, Carlo; Hallén, Jostein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We analysed the importance of systemic and peripheral arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vO2 difference and a-vfO2 difference, respectively) and O2 extraction fraction for maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Fick law of diffusion ...
    • Effect of lower body negative pressure on phase I cardiovascular responses at exercise onset 

      Fagoni, Nazzareno; Bruseghini, Paolo; Adami, Alessandra; Capelli, Carlo; Lador, Frederic; Moia, Christian; Tam, Enrico; Bringard, Aurélien; Ferretti, Guido (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We hypothesised that vagal withdrawal and increased venous return interact in determining the rapid cardiac output (CO) response (phase I) at exercise onset. We used lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to increase blood ...
